Re: MUFFLERS...are you using them or not?
So far we don't need them in Mississippi, Louisiana 
We will see when we go to Emerald Beach poker run, but I think there not enforcing it there either.
But I can see it coming and will have to get them soon or later.When it first bust off with no water its loud.In thr boat the blower whine is louder that the exhaust
2001 388 Hustler
It has the CMI's with wet tips stock.
500 efi Whipple 3.3 4.5 pulley 779hp
. 4.0 pulley 867hp
I think the DP is close to a stock 500efi at Idle only
Mufflers are going to suck

I have IMCO gatlin mufflers on my 2005 HP525EFI's. I would rather not have any mufflers, but I got them because of the law. I have no idea what dB I am at with these mufflers.

Re: MUFFLERS...are you using them or not?
Yes...I have in-line GGBs on my twin stock 496HOs and did not experience any loss of speed. The boat is much quieter, but still has a great sound.
